Download or read book Ghostly Tales of Tasmania written by Joan Emberg and published by Regal Books. This book was released on 1991 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tasmania is one of the few places in the world in which the history of the past 200 years is still intact. That history is not a particularly happy history, for it involves the setting up of a penal colony, the brutalisation of a so-called "criminal class", and the near-genocide of the indigenous Aboriginal race. This book is a deadly serious look at Tasmanian folklore and facts of spooks, species and things that go bump in the night!!!

Download or read book Beneath Another Sky written by Norman Davies and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 2017-12-07 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'He writes history like nobody else. He thinks like nobody else ... He sees the world as a whole, with its limitless fund of stories' Bryan Appleyard, Sunday Times Where have the people in any particular place actually come from? What are the historical complexities in any particular place? This evocative historical journey around the world shows us. 'Human history is a tale not just of constant change but equally of perpetual locomotion', writes Norman Davies. Throughout the ages, men and women have endlessly sought the greener side of the hill. Their migrations, collisions, conquests and interactions have given rise to the spectacular profusion of cultures, races, languages and polities that now proliferates on every continent. This incessant restlessness inspired Davies's own. After decades of writing about European history, and like Tennyson's ageing Ulysses longing for one last adventure, he embarked upon an extended journey that took him right round the world to a score of hitherto unfamiliar countries. His aims were to test his powers of observation and to revel in the exotic, but equally to encounter history in a new way. Beneath Another Sky is partly a historian's travelogue, partly a highly engaging exploration of events and personalities that have fashioned today's world - and entirely sui generis. Davies's circumnavigation takes him to Baku, the Emirates, India, Malaysia, Mauritius, Tasmania, Tahiti, Texas, Madeira and many places in between. At every stop, he not only describes the current scene but also excavates the layers of accumulated experience that underpin the present. He tramps round ancient temples and weird museums, summarises the complexity of Indian castes, Austronesian languages and Pacific explorations, delves into the fate of indigenous peoples and of a missing Malaysian airliner, reflects on cultural conflict in Cornwall, uncovers the Nazi origins of Frankfurt airport and lectures on imperialism in a desert oasis. 'Everything has its history', he writes, 'including the history of finding one's way or of getting lost.' The personality of the author comes across strongly - wry, romantic, occasionally grumpy, but with an endless curiosity and appetite for knowledge. As always, Norman Davies watches the historical horizon as well as what is close at hand, and brilliantly complicates our view of the past.
Download or read book Tasmania written by William Alfred Beatty and published by [Melbourne] : Cassell Australia. This book was released on 1963 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tasmania - Isle of Splendour, is yet another of his [Bill Beatty's] books that can be enjoyed more than once because its pages are packed with enthralling material. There are wondrous tales of the pioneers, bushrangers' escapades, mutinies, shipwrecks, grim stories of convict canibals. But the author shows that Tasmania is not merely a history-drenched island. We see it today as a Mecca of holidaymakers with its scenic charms and many tourist attractions, its fast growing economy resulting from the State's important position as one of the world's greatest fruit growing countries, its soundly-based heavy industries, and the harnessing of immense water resources for electric power."--Jacket.
